Notes. This subspecies was mentioned from China (Tibet and Yunnan) by Nilsson (1998). The record of Tibet was based on some specimens labelled “Tibet-Nepal border, Kodari, Tatopani”. The locality actually belongs to Nepal and not Xizang in China. Šťastný (2003) just followed the Nilsson’s record but without studying any other specimens from Xizang. On the other hand, the specimens from Baoshan (Yunnan) studied by Nilsson (1998) were treated as a new subspecies— P. kashmiranus lemberki by Šťastný (2003). Therefore, we remove P. kashmiranus kashmiranus from the Chinese fauna.
